Description

The Georg Fischer Type 175 ball valve is a premium 3-way electrically actuated ball valve with high stability and excellent flow characteristics. The Georg Fischer Type 175 ball valve offers high chemical resistance and is especially well suited for aggressive fluids and the heavy-duty requirements of harsh industrial applications. As a 3-way valve, the Georg Fischer Type 175 ball valve is ideal for applications requiring diverting and mixing liquids in piping systems for industries such as food and chemical processing.

Designed as a modular unit, the 3-way electrically actuated Georg Fischer Type 175 ball valve combines the 343 series ball valve with the EA21 electric actuator. The EA21 actuator was designed specifically to complement the modularity and flexibility of the 343 series valve and provide a system approach to piping system design.

Georg Fischer EA 21 Electric Actuator

The Georg Fischer EA 21 electric actuator is known for its 100 percent duty cycle for continuous operation, making it the perfect choice for positioning and control. Designed for a long service life of 250,000 cycles, the Georg Fischer EA 21 / 31 electric actuator comes equipped with integrated emergency manual override and automatic adjustment of voltage and frequency for on/off or process control applications. The Georg Fischer EA 21 electric actuator is available with universal automatic voltage adjustment of 100-230 VAC or a 24 AC/DC power module. Other outstanding features include an IP 67 rated housing manufactured with flame retardant fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene and all stainless steel screws.

The Georg Fischer EA 21 electric actuator's ISO-Namur connection interface offers greater flexibility in adding accessories, allowing 10 options available in any combination. These include cycle time adjustment, current monitoring, cycle time monitoring, cycle counting, fail safe, heating element, and position feedback for 4 to 20mA input. Users can also quickly obtain status monitoring by installing a display for indication and configuration directly on the actuator. The Georg Fischer EA 21 electric actuator is CE, CSA, and UL (pending) certified.

Georg Fischer 343 Series 3-Way Ball Valve

The Georg Fischer 343 series 3-way ball valve is ideal applications requiring diverting and mixing liquids in piping systems. An L-port version provides independent connection of inlets with outlets, while the T-port version provides straight through flow, independent connections of inlets with outlets, or interconnections of all three ports. The Type 343 is available in PVC or CPVC in sizes from ½" – 2" (20mm - 63mm) with EPDM and FPM seals as well as PTFE ball seats. End connections are solvent cement socket or threaded. A position indicator on handle and stem allows for easy recognition of function. True union permits radial installation or removal.
